(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance of the Province of
Hawke's Bay intituled "The Highways Act,
1871," it is provided that the Superintendent may,
for the purposes of that Act, from time to time, by
notification, divide the province, or any part thereof,
into districts, and in like manner to alter and amend
the names or boundaries of, or abolish, any such dis-
tricts, and to create new districts:

And whereas by warrant dated the first day of
November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
six, the Governor, by virtue of the authority conferred
upon him by the twelfth section of "The Abolition
of Provinces Act, 1875," did appoint John Davies
Ormond to perform those duties and exercise those
powers within the Hawke's Bay Provincial District,
which, under and in pursuance of the said "High-
ways Act, 1871," were vested in or to be exercised
or performed by the Superintendent:

And whereas on the twenty-fourth day of Novem-
ber, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six, the

conferred upon him, did, under the authority of the

highway districts in the said Province of Hawke's
Bay, named respectively Woodville East and Wood-
ville West:

And whereas it is expedient to abolish those dis-
tricts, and to create another district in lieu thereof:

And whereas by "The Abolition of Provinces Act,
1875," the powers, duties, and functions vested in
the Superintendent by the said "Highways Act,
1871," are now vested in the Governor:

of New Zealand, in virtue of the powers vested in
me by the said Ordinance and Act, do hereby pro-
claim, notify, and declare that the districts which are
named respectively Woodville East and Woodville
West are hereby abolished as from the date hereof:

And I do further notify and declare that the area
of land described in the Schedule hereto, and the
boundaries thereof as laid down in such Schedule,
shall form a highway district within the terms and
meaning of the said "Highways Act, 1871," and
shall be named the Woodville District.
